Mabel was so close to ringing Dipper's neck. He hadn't left his part of the attic, in a week. A week. He stunk! Literally! He was supposed to be over them by now. Or at least able to go out mystery hunting or whatever he and Grunkle Ford did on the weekends. In other news, Mabel was getting Gideon and Bill closer together. They could now be in the same room for more than a minute! Now that was progress! Speaking of, she had a meeting with them soon. Mabel left Dipper to his sulking, silently thanking God for the smell not seeping through the door.
Going to Greasy's Diner, she met the two there.
"What's on today's agenda, Shooting Star?" Bill asked, already tired of the meeting. He didn't really see the point of them, why not just let Dipper deal with the constant bickering? Humans were so weird. Helping each other even if they didn't get anything. Those mood swimgs. Sex. . . Ok, sex wasn't that bad.
Mabel sighed, "You need to talk to Dipper."
This got their attention, "Whad'ya mean, Mabel?" Gideon asked.
"He hasn't been out of his room all week. He didn't even want to go mystery hunting with Grunkle Ford!"
Bill laughed, "Ah, yeah, 'ol Sixer was fun to mess with. One of the smarter humans I've met."
Gideon however, had a surprisingly large smile, "It worked," he whispered.
The two eyed him suspiciously, Bill wondering about the comment, Mabel about the creepy smile, "What was that, Gleeful?"
"Erm, nothin'. When will I see my sweet marshmallow, again? I reckon it'll be soon," Gideon said, quickly trying to change the subject, hoping to charm them into believing him.
"Gideon," Mabel said, a frightening edge to her voice.
Gideon sighed, "I, I may have used a, um, love potion on 'im and maybe some, uh, mood changing magic."
"Gideon!" Mabel yelled, lunging at him, giving a good slap before Bill pulled her off.
"Woah, woah, Mabel. A love potion is a pretty easy fix for me," Bill said, smugly.
"What?" Both characters exclaimed.
Bill's smile widened, "Yeah, potions mess with your head not with what you meat sacks call a heart."
"Wait, what?" A surprised Mabel asked, "So, so, Robbie and Tambry. . ." She realized they were staring at her, "never mind."
"I'll take care of it, real quick," Bill snapped his fingers and disappeared.
Almost as quickly as Bill disappeared he reappeared, an angry Dipper slamming the door open and storming his way to the table where the trio was seated. "I can't believe you!" He yelled.
"What'r'ya talkin' about, sugar plum?" Gideon worriedly asked.
"You know exactly what I mean! A love potion, seriously?! I was stupid enough to believe you had changed! You know what, it's over! I never want to see you again!" Dipper practically screamed.
Bill snickered, this was great.
"And you!" Dipper's anger changed targets, going to Bill, "That potion was clouding my mind completely! You're a demon! You never actually cared about me! I was just a play thing for you! You know what! I'm done with both of you!" He sniffed the air, "ew, is that me? I'm gonna take a shower." He left the diner, holding his nose.
"What just happened?" Bill asked, after an awkward moment of silence passed.
"I think we were just broken up with," Gideon said, dumbfounded, "Mabel-" he stopped himself after realizing Mabel was gone.
Said girl was running after her brother, "Hey, hey, Dipper, don't make any hasty decisions. Besides the showering, you really do stink."
Dipper sighed, "I dunno. I still love the two of them, like it wasn't just the effects of a love potion. Maybe you're right, but after all that happened I can't just trust them again."
Mabel stopped, letting Dipper get ahead of her, "Time to bring out the big guns." She put on a camo soldiers helmet, time to get her brother's love(s) back with him. Even if both of them were giant dumb idiots. Slamming open the door to Greasy's diner, she was ready to give the two what was coming to them. . . only to find they were gone. She had to get them together, the question was how? And where were they? Gideon was probably moping, planning revenge, or both. Yeah, probably both. Bill was. . . Bill. Who knew where he was. Didn't Dipper have some physic hotline to him or something? Mabel shrugged, she could figure that out later. First, she had to setup something. It was time for Mabel's relationship bootcamp! (Also known as plan B.)
Q: yeah, I'm a week and a day late on this update. I blame homework. I'm also probably pushing the K+ boundary, but oh well. This also might be longer than I thought it would be. *shrugs* only time will tell.
